Family Theater: Seeds of Promise

The theater presents Otto Krueger, Don De Forre, and Nancy Gates. I'm Hollywood, the mutual network in cooperation with Family Theater, presents Don De Forre, and Nancy Gates in Seeds of Promise. To introduce the drama, here is your host, Otto Krueger.

Thank you, Tony De Forre now. Family Theater's only purpose is to bring to everyone's attention a practice that must become an important part of our lives. We're to win peace for ourselves, peace for our families, and peace for the world.

Family theater urges you to pray. Pray together as a family. Tonight family theater takes great pleasure in presenting seeds of promise, starring Don DeFor as Johnny and Nancy Gates as Sarah. This is the soil, it's rich black soil.

The soil where things can grow, where the branches spread into the sun and the fruit hangs heavy with life. This is the soil and this is the tree. Then we never ask why. It's a thing that comes along with the sky and the rain, sunny weather and cloudless days.

And because now the soil holds at the fulfillment, we forget that there was a time when the soil held only a promise. Seeds are falling to the earth now. So lightly you can't hear them.

In a while they'll stir and grow from the warmth of the earth's body. And if you could listen long enough and closely enough, you could listen to a story they have to tell. A story that began over a hundred years ago on an Allegheny farm.

Johnny? Oh, you gave me a start, sir. I didn't expect to see you up this early. I couldn't sleep all night. Don't know why, restless, I guess. How everything here is so beautiful, Johnny. The dawn, the sky, the land.
